Are you guys tired of the "what's wrong with the games press" discussion? No?
Actually, I'm totally tired of it, but when I got invited recently to be on the ReAnimators podcast to chat about it with a couple of animators for a developer audience, I had to. If you think gamers can have animosity toward us writerly sorts, you should see how often devs hate us more.
Having the discussion going on from both perspectives, and considering both perspectives, was not only really fun, but really enlightening. I've said it before, but it's rare and weird how rarely people who make games and the people who cover them actually talk directly. So if you're not totally fatigued with either the topic or the sound of my voice, you should check out ReAnimators -- those guys, Mike Jungbluth and Ryan Duffin, were cool to talk to!
